Thus if the particle is moving along the magnetic field, F = 0.
Hence the particle continues to move along the incident direction, in a straight line.
When the particle is moving perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field, the force is perpendicular to both
direction of velocity and the magnetic field.
Then the force tends to move the charged particle in a plane perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field, in a
circle.
If the direction of velocity has both parallel and perpendicular components to the direction magnetic field, the
perpendicular component tends to move it in a circle and parallel component tends to move it al

As v is doubled, the radius also becomes double.
Hence, radius = 2 × 2 = 4 cm.
16. (3) (i) When no field is present E=0,B=0, the proton experiences no force. Thus it moves with a constant velocity.
(ii) When E=0 and B=0, then there will be a probability that proton may move parallel to magnetic field. In this
situation, there will be no force acting on proton.
(iii) When both fields are present
E=0,B=0, then let E, B and v may be mutually perpendicular to each other. In this case, the electric and magnetic
forces acting on the proton may be equal and opposite. Thus, there will be no resultant force on the proton.

placed diametrically opposite to each other on the surface of cylinder. The fields produced on the axis by
them are equal and opposite and can get cancelled with each other.

47. (2) Field at the centre of a circular current loop is given by B  . Since the currents are alternately in

each loop which are alternately in opposite directions.

51. (4) A current carrying coil behaves as a magnetic dipole. Therefore, in a uniform magnetic field coil will get
aligned such that the dipole moment of the coil is parallel to the magnetic field. And we know that dipole moment

28

of a coil is perpendicular to its plane.

Therefore, coil will align itself such that its plane is perpendicular the direction of magnetic field.

should be zero, if placed in uniform magnetic field.

Fvertical=F2

Resultant of F1 , F2 and F3 is F

where F   F3  F1   F22

Since total force = 0, hence force on QP is equal

to F in magnitude but opposite direction.
58. (2) Force on a current carrying conductor is given as F=ILB sin θ where θ is angle between length L and field B.
i.e. 300
Put B=500×10−4Tesla and L=0.4m with I =3A we get
